better-paas

An agent-first, self-hosted platform-as-a-service that deploys applications from Git repositories onto a user's own VPS, automating HTTPS, database provisioning, and rollbacks. It targets developers, IT, and operations teams in small to mid-sized companies who want to own their infrastructure.
